UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Salsa Epistemology UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Salsa Epistemology: On The Present, Utopia, and the Caribbean Intervention in Critical Theory A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature by Kristie Soares Committee in charge: Professor Carl Gutiérrez-Jones, Chair Professor Chela Sandoval Professor Ellie Hernández June 2015 The dissertation of Kristie Soares is approved. ____________________________________________ Chela Sandoval ____________________________________________ Ellie Hernández ____________________________________________ Carl Gutiérrez-Jones, Committee Chair May 2015 Salsa Epistemology: On The Present, Utopia, and the Caribbean Intervention in Critical Theory Copyright © 2015 by Kristie Soares iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation comes from what my parents already knew and taught me. I learned some fancy words along the way, but most of the knowledge belongs to them and to my community of dancing/cafetera-wielding/laughing/DJ-Laz-listening/perreando Cubans and Brazilians in Miami. I am so grateful to these communities and to my parents—Ronnie and Maria Soares—for living their lives in a way that not only inspires me, but also shows critical theory a thing or two. I am lucky enough to be married to the smartest person I have ever known. My wife, Emily Scheines, has the singular ability to plan a political campaign while checking my logic on Anzaldúan theory and putting the finishing touches on butternut squash lasagna. Without you, my love, I would have starved and misquoted. I would have never discovered burrata and never read Kindred. Thank you for being everything. I am fortunate enough to have best friends as silly as they are successful: Miguel Nolla, MaryAnn Holland, Laura Rodriguez, and Loren Beer have acted in my Kendale Elementary and Arvida Middle stage productions, proofread my college papers, visited me when I moved to the mountains, picked up the check when I couldn’t, reached out to my parents when I was living far away, reminded me to meditate, listened to my job talks, sent me articles for my research, bought me a computer, made me ride a mechanical bull… Stop it you guys. You rock. Then there’s Katrina Ruiz, who kept me writing creatively and performing when all I wanted to do was wear elbow patches. Guapa, as Cristina says, “Pa'lante, pa'lante, pa'tras ni pa' coger impulso." James Molina, for always volunteering to drive since we were sixteen years old so that I could sit in the passenger seat while we talk philosophy. Irina Popescu iv and Javier Cikota: you have healed me with your futon and your Turkish coffee and your hiking and your wine. Thank you for being family. My LA-based dissertation writing group: writing is a solitary process and I’m so grateful to have found you. Melissa Netto: Dude. Getting a PhD has got nothing on being a super mom. You inspire me. Katia Netto who gave me my first copy of This Bridge Called My Back. If people like you and Fredda Rubin hadn’t fought the good fight, dissertations like this one simply couldn’t exist. Vóvó Jandyra, for helping me understand that humor and wisdom are often synonymous. Tia Sonia, for being the first nerd I ever met and the first meditator—you are me of the future. Tia Isa, you are the most resilient and the most joyful person I know. You taught me that those two things could go together. Desi: you’re a German Shepherd and you can’t read this, but you should know that your little face keeps me going day after day. I’m a person that collects mentors, and I’m fortunate to have the following brilliant people to thank for guiding me along this path: First my chair, Carl Gutiérrez-Jones. Carl, you’ve been incredibly giving of your time, your emotional energy, and your patience throughout this multi-year process. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have had someone as grounded, brilliant, and compassionate as you as my guide into academia. Ellie Hernández and Chela Sandoval—thank you for introducing me to decolonial Chicana theorists! I have you to thank for the Latina/o studies scholar that I have become. Stephanie Batiste: you taught me that being a scholar-performer was something that people did, and encouraged me to do it myself. You made academia fun again. Juan Pablo Lupi: the day you introduced me to Lezama changed my life! Cristina Venegas: I never knew I wanted to be a media scholar until I met you and you encouraged me to write about Pitbull. Robert Buffington: Rob, eight years later I can still see the traces of our conversations in my work. v Radhule Weininger: compassion meditation is the most important thing I’ve learned in the past decade, and I’m grateful to you for being my teacher. And last but not least, my DAWGs (Dope-Ass-Writing-Group…there I said it). Shannon Brennan, Jessica Lopez Lyman, and Alison Reed, thank you most of all. You are alchemists—you turn germs of ideas into polished prose! Thank you for your time, your compassion, your brilliance. May the future of academia look just like the three of you. And one last thing: I am grateful to Pitbull, who reps the “305” and whose music makes me feel at home anywhere I go. Pitbull has more wisdom than we give him credit for. He is right when he says that when there is nothing left to try, you just gotta ¡Dale! And now, as Fulanito would say, que comience la fiesta… vi VITA OF KRISTIE SOARES May 2015 Education University of California, Santa Barbara Ph.D., Comparative Literature, expected June 2015 Dissertation: “Salsa Epistemology: The Present, Utopia, and the Caribbean Intervention in Critical Theory” Committee: Carl Gutiérrez-Jones, Chela Sandoval, Ellie Hernández Graduate of International Language Schools of Canada French Program, July 2012 Montreal, Canada Graduate of Northwestern University Black Feminist Performance Institute, June 2011 Department of Performance Studies at Northwestern University University of Colorado, Boulder M.A., Comparative Literature, May 2009 Graduate Certificate in Women & Gender Studies Thesis: “Traveling Queer Subjects: Homosexuality in the Cuban Diaspora” University of Florida B.A., English and Women’s Studies, June 2006 Graduated cum laude Graduate of Global Institute for Leadership and Civic Development, Havana, Cuba Semester Abroad in Havana, Cuba, Summer 2004 Research Interests • 20th Century Caribbean Literature and Popular Culture • U.S. Latina/o Literature and Media • Queer of Color Critique • Chicana Feminist Philosophy • Hemispheric American Studies • Performance Cultures of the Americas • 20th Century Political Theory Publications Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles “Garzona Nationalism: The Confluence of Gender, Sexuality and Citizenship in the Cuban Republic.” Frontiers: A Journal of Women’s Studies 35.3 (2014). “Traveling Queer Subjects: Homosexuality in the Cuban Diaspora.” Revista de Estudios Hispánicos 45.3 (2011). “From Canary Birds to Suffrage: Lavinia’s Feminist Role in Who Would Have Thought It?” Letras Femeninas 35.2 (2009): 211-229. vii Peer-Reviewed Chapters in Edited Books “The Political Implications of Playing Hopefully: A Negotiation of the Present and the Utopic in Queer Theory.” The Un/Making of Latina/o Citizenship: Culture, Politics and Aesthetics.

  • Code-Switching and Translated/Untranslated Repetitions in Nuyorican Spanglish
    E3S Web of Conferences 273, 12139 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202127312139 INTERAGROMASH 2021 Code-switching and translated/untranslated repetitions in Nuyorican Spanglish Marina Semenova* Don State Technical University, 344000, Rostov-on-Don, Russia Abstract. Nuyorican Spanglish is a variety of Spanglish used primarily by people of Puerto Rican origin living in New York. Like many other varieties of the hybrid Spanglish idiom, it is based on extensive code- switching. The objective of the article is to discuss the main features of code-switching as a strategy in Nuyrican Spanglish applying the methods of linguistic, componential, distribution and statistical analysis. The paper focuses on prosiac and poetic texts created in Nuyrican Spanglish between 1978 and 2020, including the novel Yo-Yo Boing! by Giannina Braschi and 142 selected Boricua poems, which allows us to make certain observations on the philosophy and identity of Nuyorican Spanglish speakers. As a result, two types of code-switching as a strategy are denoted: external and internal code-switching for both written and oral speech forms. Further, it is concluded that repetition, also falling into two categories (translated and untranslated), embodies the core values of Nuyorican Spanglish (freedom of choice and focus on the linguistic personality) and reflects the philosophical basis for code-switching. 1 Introduction Nuyorican Spanglish is a Spanglish dialect used in New York’s East Side primarily by people of Puerto Rican origin, many of who are first- or second-generation New Yorkers. This means that Spanglish they use is rather the most effective way to communicate between English and Spanish cultures which come into an extremely intense contact in this cosmopolitan city.

  • Magic Primarycolours Bio APPROVED
    MAGIC! Primary Colours In 2014, Toronto-bred, Los Angeles-based quartet MAGIC! scored the song of the summer with their debut single “Rude” — a buoyant reggae-pop tune that held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks, charted in 41 countries, and sold more than 10 million singles, while its video nears a billion VEVO views. It was a juggernaut that launched their debut album, Don’t Kill the Magic, into the Top 10 and introduced MAGIC!’s breezy sound — a catchy fusion of reggae, pop, and R&B — to the world. “When ‘Rude’ got big, my thought was, ‘What do we do with this?’” says the band’s lead vocalist and chief songwriter Nasri. “So we chased it. We used its success to get us around the world a few times and to turn those 350 million streams into a fan base.” Indeed over the past two years MAGIC! has established itself as a bonafide sensation thanks to its undeniably catchy sound, superlative songwriting, and masterful musicianship. Now the band, which also features guitarist Mark Pelli, drummer Alex Tanas, and bassist Ben Spivak, has released a new single, the Caribbean-tinged “Lay You Down Easy” (featuring Sean Paul), which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Reggae Digital Songs chart and racked up two million Spotify streams and one million VEVO views in its first two weeks. MAGIC! is also gearing up for the July release of its new album, Primary Colours, which finds the band further displaying its reggae influences and pop smarts.

  • Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium
    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository GAMBLING IN THE MID-NINETEENTH-CENTURY LATIN AMERICAN SOCIAL IMAGINARY Emily Joy Clark A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies (Spanish). Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Rosa Perelmuter Juan Carlos González Espitia Emilio del Valle Escalante Irene Gómez Castellano John Charles Chasteen © 2016 Emily Joy Clark ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Emily Joy Clark: Gambling in the Mid-Nineteenth-Century Latin American Social Imaginary (Under the direction of Rosa Perelmuter) Economic themes appear in many nineteenth-century Latin American narratives, but the representation of gambling and other forms of speculative capitalist commerce, such as investment, trade, and mining, is a largely unexplored area of critical literary analysis. This dissertation examines the depiction of gambling and other games of chance, as well as financially-speculative endeavors, in eight texts from the mid-nineteenth century throughout Hispanic America, including José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi’s El Periquillo Sarniento (1816), Eduardo Gutiérrez’s Juan Moreira (1879), Rosario Orrego’s Alberto el jugador (1860), Teresa González de Fanning’s Regina (1886), Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda’s Sab (1841), Alberto Blest Gana’s Martín Rivas (1862), José Ramón de Betancourt’s Una feria de la caridad en 183… (1841, 1858), and José Milla’s Los Nazarenos (1867). In the four chapters of the dissertation, I analyze four different perspectives on gambling and its repercussions in society as it applies to gender (Chapters 1 and 2), social class (Chapter 3), and the role of the citizen in post-independence Latin American nation states (Chapter 4).
